Imagine how your

home could look

- with lowers

Cut lowers give every home

a stunning inishing touch.

There is such a variety of colour and

shape on offer these days, that you

are sure to ind a lower to match your

interior décor and really make an

impact. Flowers are not just beautiful

- they can lift your spirits as well,

energising you and enhancing your

surroundings with colour, scent and

texture.

So Simple, So Try It!

We launched our campaign So Simple So Try It!

in response to requests for easy, fun, fashionable

designs for lowers – something that looked like a

design you’d see in a magazine, but that didn’t

cost too much or take too long to create. Our

website trylowers.org.uk has hundreds of designs

for you to try – we’ve chosen just a few of them to

give you an idea.

We’ll show you how simple and fun it can be to

achieve stylish, modern, fast lower arrangements

in your home. Have a go, get creative, and

express your personality with lowers. It’s so simple

– so try it!

“I don’t have the right vases”

Even if you don’t own a single vase, you can still enjoy cut lowers.

Raid the kitchen cupboards

Jugs, teacups, dishes and jam jars can be used for lowers – arrange a

selection on a tea-tray, or wind wire around the necks and hang them

from a coat hook! This is very economical too, as even the shortest

stems of lowers can be used.

Glass is a versatile, readily available and elegant way to show off your

lowers. Wine, beer, olive oil and mineral water bottles come in interesting

shapes and colours – take a look next time you are grocery shopping.

Choose lowers with large heads like gerbera, lilies, roses or orchids –

put one stem in each bottle and line them up for instant glamour.

Simple, fast and stylish!

Think outside the vase

If it’s waterproof, it can hold lowers. Try a child’s seaside bucket for a fun

summertime display – or ill some old wellies with lowers. (And if it’s not

waterproof – or your wellies have holes! – pop a glass inside irst.)

Glasses and jars can also be put inside gift bags to hold water for

lowers. So if you’re on the move, you can still take your lowers with you.

Get creative

Wrap a plain vase in patterned paper, or a square of fancy fabric. Stick

double-sided sticky tape round the outside of a tin can, and stick vertical

rows of twigs to the tape to cover it. Or line the inside of a glass with large

glossy leaves such as aspidistra, fatsia or cordyline. These will last longer

than the lowers so you can use them again for next week’s display!
